Friendly Eryri/Snowdonia site on the banks of the River Glaslyn
Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon Watkin Path five minutes’ drive away
Beddgelert’s cafés, pubs and railway station less than a mile away

What a gorgeous spot for a break in the fresh air of Eryri/Snowdonia National Park. Cae Du Campsite is on the banks of the River Glaslyn less than a mile from the pretty village of Beddgelert. Now, if you’ve heard of Beddgelert, that may well be because it’s known as something of a hub for approachable walking trails, and it’s got a Welsh Highland Railway station – and both of these elements make it a good base for exploring your surroundings. On top of that, the village has its own attraction in the form of Gelert’s Grave, and it’s got several pubs, cafés and craft shops too. The walks from Beddgelert aren’t the only options around here, of course – in fact, one of the national park’s big (literally) attractions is just up the road in the form of Yr Wyddfa/Mount Snowdon. It’ll take you about five minutes to drive to the trailhead for the Watkin Path, passing the pretty Llyn Dinas lake as you go (handy for a post-climb wild swim perhaps?) And there’s plenty more to keep you busy… including a short walk to the excellent Sygun Copper Mine, an outing to the beach in Porthmadog, an adrenaline-filled excursion to Zip World Llechwedd or history-tinged wanders around the castles of Criccieth and Caernarfon. Little bit tired after whichever outing you chose? Well, there’s plenty of space to relax back at the park, and you should hopefully sleep well in these peaceful surroundings. Wifi, a washing-up area, a launderette and bathrooms with toilets and showers are on hand to make life comfortable, and you’ll be allowed to bring a barbecue or light a campfire to finish your day in traditional camping style. Firepits can be hired from reception (subject to availability) between 9.30 am and 5pm. Logs, kindling and firelighters are also available during this time period. As a good place to unwind, Cae Du Campsite has a strict rule that music must be turned off and noise kept to a minimum after 9.30 pm.

What customers say

Great mountain views & peaceful vibe. Lovely riverside walk to Beddgelert. Spacious pitches, clean but dated facilities. Friendly staff. Ideal for walkers. Poor phone signal. Midges noted. Pricey for some. Many want to return.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews

Small lake on the grounds with feeding herons seen.

A bit further from the road, runs lovely path

Powered grass campervan or tent site

Liked We loved the location of Cae Du! What a beautiful place! The site was spotlessly clean and well maintained. We also loved the fact it’s a quiet site after 9:30pm which most people did adhere to. Perfect free WIFI coverage all weekend (although we tried not to use our phones too much)!

Disliked Not a dislike but the only thing missing is an on site shop. But this wouldn’t stop us booking here again.

Local attractions

Families can inspire their kids with a love of nature on a stroll along the Aberglaslyn Gorge straight from the campsite. Seasoned hikers might make for the start of the Watkin Path (five minutes’ drive), one of them more challenging routes up Yr Wyddfa/Mount Snowdon, or search out strenuous scrambles up Glyder Fawr (20 minutes). If you’re looking for more unusual activities, Zip World Llechwedd (35 minutes) will appeal with its zipwires and subterranean golf course. Perhaps that’s a bit too high octane for your offspring? Head for Llyn Dinas (15 minutes’ walk) for wild swimming and paddleboarding, or laze on the beach at Porthmadog (25 minutes). Slip a slice of Eryri heritage into your holiday with a wander around the museum at Sygun Copper Mine (five minutes’ walk, there’s a playground for younger kids too), or enjoy history-tinged meanders around the castles at Criccieth (25 minutes’ drive) and Caernarfon (half an hour). And don’t forget to pay your respects at Gelert’s Grave (15 minutes’ walk), the final resting place of a faithful dog once companion to the medieval Prince Llewelyn the Great.
